Welcome to AZ Phone Bank for Palestine!
Our purpose is to mobilize Arizona Muslims and allies who support a ceasefire to make 3 phone calls each weekday to their elected officials. This Website has all the basic info you need to get calling and make an impact. For reminders, fresh call scripts and support, join our Whatsapp group.This is a nationwide initiative involving 40+ states. We are Muslim-led but we welcome allies from all faiths.
Our Basic Demands
- -An immediate and permanent ceasefire. More than 39,000 people have been killed, mostly women and children.
- -Allow MUCH more humanitarian Aid to feely enter Gaza and end Israels blockade
- -No more weapons and military funding to the Israeli military
Arizona Phone Bank for Palestine!
Thanks for being a part of the movement. The Arizona Muslims & Allies Phone Bank for Palestine plays a crucial role in accountability, collaboration, and advocacy. We are part of Celebrate Mercy's nationwide effort to reach over 10,000 combined phone calls daily to elected officials across the United States demanding a ceasefire in Gaza now. Phone banking is open to all Arizona residents regardless of faith, sex, or age (teens welcome!).
Our current goal is to make 380 calls a day to our elected officials. Being a swing state, our coordinated efforts can significantly influence public policy and make an impact.
God willing, we hope to expand our efforts to include regular representative meetings. If you have ideas or are interested in meeting with elected officials as a group, please message an admin. The suffering hasn't stopped in Gaza so we can't stop either. Thank you and may Allah (God) reward you for your efforts and intentions.
How this works
We want this to be simple and easy for our volunteers, and we don't like SPAM so only admins are allowed to post in the Whatsapp group. (Sometimes, we open the chat for an hour to do a Q&A but we promise to warn you first.) Admins will share the call scripts, phone numbers, reminders, encouragement, and the latest data/trends. We will also share the latest news and updates on the situation in the Whatsapp group.
- Calls. We each make 3 calls every business day to our 2 senators & 1 congressional representative. Use the call scripts provided above or speak from your heart, but no matter what, urge them to call for a ceasefire in Gaza. If you reach the machine, speak slowly and leave your ZIP code or address and your message. If you reach a staffer, you may want to ask for their name before leaving your message.
- Logs. After you make your calls please log them on the daily poll link pinned to the top of the WhatsApp Group or click on the Log-call link at the top. This helps us keep track of our advocacy and keeps us accountable. Group admins operate the poll and will share local and national data. Admins will report our total calls made daily to the national group, which is tracking every state's contributions. Nationwide, we're averaging 10,000 phone calls a day!
- You will call:
- Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I)
- Sen. Mark Kelly (D)
- Your congressional representative is based on your Arizona ZIP code. Find your representative here FIRST before calling.
You can call the office closest to you or the DC number (202). You can even switch it up and call one office one day, and a different one the next. Sometimes you'll have to try different numbers to get through.
NOTE: If you ever encounter an unprofessional/rude staffer, please get their name and ask to speak with their manager/higher-up. No constituent should be treated rudely by office staff. Then contact an admin so we can note it and also call to report the incident.
Everything you need to get up and running
You can dial the congressional office numbers below or use this site to automatically connect you to the three offices. If an office number is skipped, it's because no one answered. Please call another one of their offices to ensure they don't miss your message. The more callers, the stronger the impact.
Please share the Whatsapp group link with friends and family in Arizona so we can continue to pressure our elected representatives. We must use our voice to speak for the 30,000 innocent souls murdered in this ongoing genocide, and keep fighting for the ones still enduring it. 🇵🇸 Please reach out to the admins in the whatsapp group for any questions or help. Thank You!
